**Vintage 1940s Strand Electric Patt. 60 Studio Film Light** This item is a Strand Electric Patt. 60 studio film light, dating to the 1940s, complete with its metal tripod stand. It features a rectangular, riveted sheet metal housing and a circular lens holder with a concave reflector for controlled light dispersion. The front includes a brass or brass-coated ring and slots for cooling, typical of Strand Electric's professional lighting design. The tripod is adjustable, constructed of lightweight metal, with screw-tightened fittings for height adjustment. The original identification plate, affixed to the housing, reads "STRAND ELECTRIC," "PATT. 60," and "REF. 6993," confirming its mid-century origin. An intact electrical cable with an inline control switch is present, suggesting functional potential. The light is mounted securely to the tripod via a central bracket with a manual adjustment knob, allowing for precise angling. This iconic industrial light, widely used in mid-20th-century cinema and stage production, showcases moderate wear indicative of age and professional use.

Jolly Anglers Association', 45cm x 120cmNote: Mr Eric Smith was a prolific angler from Peterborough and fished at many major fishing events during the 1940s to 1970s. He won many trophies and medals for his achievements. When he caught this pike, The Jolly Angler's Association, of which Eric was a long-standing member, had the pike professionally stuffed for him as it was the biggest one caught within the club at the time. It was displayed in a prominent position in their clubhouse for many years. Eric Smith was well known for making some of his own rods and floats to a very professional standard, something he attributed to his continuing success in angling.
